Any one wanna post what's on the shopping list this week? Going to head to the library to see if I can print some TQs.
Colgate Optic Care Toothpaste is TPC $2.99. There is a MQ $1.50 and a TQ $1.
Lots of clearance toothpaste, Crest and Colgate. Colgate Max 15% off and there is a TQ for that. Don't know of any MQ on the Colgate. There are Crest MQs in boxes on any 4 oz or larger. I have some 75¢ Crest MQs from previous boxes that I bought.
Txt MARYKAY to 467467 for free mascara sample.

LOTS of free clearance clothes with the new TQs
Clearance toothpaste (various Colgate ones were 2.08, free after MQ and TQ and they are the bonus packs with toothpaste and toothbrush)
Free Cascade trial size
Congrats on your new found raise and time! I cried when mine went to school, but now they are teenagers/adult and although I love it when they are home during school breaks, I am also glad when school starts. Have been deciding if it is time to find a job now that they no longer 'need' me as much. But would have to drive 45mi. to the next town over just to find work. With gas prices, I am just not sure it would be worthwhile?? Or maybe that is just my excuse now.
I tell my DH that I deserve some 'me' time now for awhile...Is that selfish? I hope not cause I am enjoying it so far. LOL
I just got home from HT and T, and I am pooped. Did great at both places, so that's good. I am literally counting the days ... well, I would count the days if I knew exactly what date hubby's review is going to be ... but anyway, I am just sitting on the edge of my seat until his review happens and we find out what type of raise he's going to get. I am so ready to be done with this craziness!!!
I do get a break on the morning school run tomorrow. I am babysitting a little one whose mommy teaches elementary Spanish and needs a babysitter until lunchtime. Just a one-time thing, and this little one loves to play with my youngest, so it will be a pretty easy time of it.
TM4D, glad to hear your little one loved her first day! If we could have swung the tuition last year, I know Lillian would have had such a blast in preschool. Some kids just need that earlier than the standard kindergarten. It sounds, from all you've posted, that you have moved to a great place for your family. So happy for you guys!!!
Where have GT and bunnies been hiding?!?
chat later. didn't get much stuff done this wknd so need to get it on. will chat during breaks.

I was also a single mom so I do appreciate that aspect of having to save money. I guess that is why, when I got married to my DH, I made it a point to discuss our options. lol In other words, I gave him an advance notice as to wanting to be a stay at home mom with them. Then I opened a business with my parents and worked a schedule that let me be there to take/pick them up from school and be off on their days off. It worked out great. Then we closed our business and I have been at home with them ever since.
I really feel for those that have to pay daycare, it is a huge expense. My sister and aunt both have state licensed daycares and I am almost positive that the going rate around here is nowhere near that.
I am so excited for you!! Such a huge financial weight off your shoulders!
I can't even imagine $337 a week
Well, dd's 1st day of preschool went really well. She didn't even want to say goodbye to us when we dropped her off nor did she notice me when I came to pick her up

Well, lets see... I cleaned a little this morning.. then took my DD to chickfila playground for lunch.. She had a blast, and I had time to get some paperwork done.. Ran some errands, and went to target.. Got 3 bags of clearance rack clothes and only paid .51 for them all
If you would have had them scan the mq's first and then the ivc, it would not have beep.
disclaimer: I have not been to wags in over a year.
this yr his daughter will be a freshman at the same university we attended. internet friend's dd is an aspiring singer who wants to major in it in college so when i watched her video, one thought led to another and the sadness was just overwhelming. in the dorms he would pull out his guitar and try to sing this one song. he'd sing *lady* and we'd always start laughing and he'd never finish the song (my sweet lady by john denver). so now i always cry. i'm tearing up again so i will stop. the next day was totally blown b/c i had a huge headache from crying.
alien from another planet story- so last wed nite i changed the seats, springs, o-rings, cam and packing on the kitchen faucet. on thurs the plumber changed the hot water heater. on friday i hear, *something must be wrong. there is no hot water.* dh is washing dishes and he has the handle straight back and blasting as usual. so i move the handle to the left and lo and behold, Hot Water! sigh!
morning...

Oh, and she went with her little L.L. Bean backpack that I ordered when you posted that deal awhile back (I think it was you
Glad things went good on her first day.. Is she going everyday or just a few days a week?

Thanks Flug!! Yeah she is just such a social kid.....she is loving having little friends and her teacher seems so nice and everything - most everyone is just really nice here

M-Th 8:15-11:00 It is a little early to get up than I'm used to but not much. Gets me up and gets me goin'
I do love summers for sleeping in, but I have come to appreciate the earlier start time to my day - it helps me get up and get going MUCH faster.
I am debating whether or not to bring these two little munchkins out somewhere or not. They are both well-behaved, just not sure I want to maneuver two 2-yr-olds in the rain...
Off to think about it while I drink my coffee.
morning...
ha mine too 3xtimes that!! good thing only 10 years left on that thing.
all this child care reminds me of a friend who was sending hers so she could still work. we figured it out she was losing 2.50 an hour from working and paying for child care. Which is why I am a stay at home mom lol.
so it rained all day yesterday, sometimes fairly hard and the sump pump pit was bone dry. however, it's supposed to rain or chance of rain every day for the next 7 days except sunday. like we need more rain, not!
flug- your weather should be fairly similar to mine so if you have something that needs to get done, may as well bite the bullet and go out. i think the rain is supposed to be on and off unlike yesterday where i kept procrastinating when it started raining harder. maybe you could dodge the showers.
so last nite i ran out to target to buy a couple gallons of vinegar for cleaning and maybe get some free/cheap stuff since i was gonna have some oop. i'd checked online and the target brand was showing 2.39 so even if my target was more expensive than that, how much more could it be? i can pay a little extra until it's time to go to the supermarket where the store brand is 1.77 to 1.99.
first of all, they didn't have any which is not uncommon. many times they won't restock what i want for 3-4 wks sometimes. second, the tag said 3.39!!! i even checked the price on the scanners.
went to SNS which is the closest but usually .50 more for just about everything than the supermarket i usually go to. 2.69 so i bought 1 gallon so i could keep cleaning.
just checked shoprite online and shoprite vinegar should be 1.77 this wk. it usually is, but sometimes it will go up to 1.8x or 1.99. the one time it recently did that i bought another brand, farm flavor, which is usually 1.89. i'll buy heinz for eating, but not for cleaning and laundry.
why-o-why is my target so expensive??? that is almost double the price! and it's not a super, so i have to go the the supermarket anyway. makes getting freebies and cheapies very difficult cuz i'm not saving any money if i'm grossly overpaying for the other stuff. and i almost always don't need the freebies and cheapies, just nice to have or give away.

Okay, either I didn't type what I meant, or you guys have some mighty large mortgage payments
Then you guys said you pay 4X that much
I do, however wish my house payment was only 337.00 a month.. wouldn't that be lovely
Speaking of money.. The AC man came out and fixed our air this morning.. I am very thankful that he didn't have to replace the unit, or something really expensive.. It still cost us 150.00 for parts and labor, but that wasn't too bad.. DH was worried because we have 2 vacations coming up and we had to pay for an alignment on the van this weekend, plus 2 new tires.. He said it always seems like things break down or need repair when you are trying to save for vacations or Christmas!
And the nicest thing is that it was so cool yesterday and today that we were totally comfortable with no AC going.. as a matter of fact, it is fixed, but still turned off today!

I am happy for the cool weather 60-65 is my favorite weather its super comfortable.

And isn't this rain something else? I'm happy for rain on the one hand, but several days straight is quite enough, I should think! I'm hoping the skies stay clear enough Saturday morning - I'm doing a sale at my sisters' house and would love some mostly dry weather.
And our monthly rent just went up to $1500...for a dinky little house.

Rainy and grey and dark here. Second day in a row. Been pouring off and on. Talk about a crashing end to summer.
I'm feeling too lazy to multi quote and i'm playing message catch up, so suffer along with me, please.
jteef, thank you for the homeostasis and watsu info.
ST... hugs and more hugs your way, hon. so sorry for your loss. i pray your friend is in a better place, finally at peace from all that troubled him/haunted him. and i pray for his family. i always think mental illness must be such a lonely experience - when you're physically ill or hurt etc, atleast people can see and some of them might commiserate. but with mental illness it's all within you. and you can't even count on your own mind to make sense of the world around you. that must be so isolating.
ST, your faucet story cracked me up.
so you know how it's raining there and here... i'm walking out of PT yesterday, in pouring rain, with crutches, and guy says to me "this is really bad weather to be using crutches in. i don't think you should be walking around in crutches in this weather" ummm, okay. so then he goes on to tell me how all the metal grates, manhole covers etc get extra slippery and do i know that? yes said i, i walked in this rain with crutches for 50 mins today already. he looked and me and said "as i said, you really should not be walking around in this weather"
umm, okay then sir. what is it about people that they feel the need to say something or the other to you if you're on crutches/with a walker/wheelchair/boot? don't they realize that the people having to use those devices are just as intelligent as those not using them, and hyperaware of the discomfort/dangers/inconvenience they face?
L2B... it is indeed a cost of living thing. as mortgages go, 1300/month wouldn't even get you a tiny studio apartment mortgage around here. not even a basement studio with no kitchen. not even a basement room with an attached bathroom. nada. i'm always amazed at areas of the country where entire homes are about 100k, cos my neck of the woods a "cozy" (translated: tiny) studio would be in the 300k-350k range.
